|

|
|
|
| 7.After I used my flash drive for some time, and then used this repair utility, the drive capacity was reduced. What’s up with that? |
* Over time, saved files within the device will inevitably cause wear and tear on the storage medium.
The online repair software will detect such damage and mark those sections of memory so that the system will not use them.
This results in the device showing a lower capacity than it originally had.
